gdb for 64 bit intel solaris 10?

[Mark Woollard]

Am trying to get gdb configured and built for intel solaris 10 to  
work on 64 bit images but am not getting anywhere. Is this a  
supported platform? I can get a successful 32 bit debugger wtih 6.2.1  
but no success for 64 bit with either 6.2.1 or 6.3. Am compiling with  
gcc 4.0.2 configured to use gas and sun ld.

Thanks
Mark

No, nobody has expressed interest in porting GDB to this platform yet
as far as I know.

On the contrary.  Support for Solaris 10 x86, including support for
debugging 64-bit applications was contributed some time ago, and will
be in GDB 6.4.  Incidentally now would be a good time to check whether
it works correctly.  You can grab a snapshot at:

ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gdb/snapshots/current/gdb-6.3.50.20051107.tar.bz2

Please make sure that you configure and build it using a 64-bit
compiler.  Setting:

$ export CC="gcc -m64"

before running configure should do the trick.

Actually, would you mind trying (if Mark is OK with this):

ftp://sourceware.org:/pub/gdb/snapshots/branch/gdb.tar.bz2

This is a pre-version of the the upcoming 6.4 release. It's also very
close to the tarball Mark pointed out.

Thanks,

Oops!  Thanks, Mark.

Would that be worth a NEWS entry?

Yes, I think so.
